Barbican hires Vibe's Archer to lead international casualty treaty reinsurance

Barbican Insurance Group has appointed Clive Archer as head of international casualty treaty reinsurance.

Most recently, Archer was class underwriter for casualty treaty at Vibe Syndicate, responsible for growing the company’s international casualty treaty book from inception. His previous roles include senior casualty underwriter at Ace Tempest Re; manager of international casualty at St Paul Re and Platinum Re; and senior underwriter for casualty treaty at ERC Frankona.

Archer has over 30 years of underwriting experience in the casualty reinsurance sector, across both the UK and international territories.

Reporting to Simon Saunders, head of reinsurance, Archer will be responsible for coordinating all underwriting activities of the international casualty team.

The division currently provides proportional, excess of loss and stop loss reinsurance across a range of business lines, including directors & officers, workers compensation, financial institutions and professional indemnity.

“Clive is an outstanding underwriter with a fantastic track record of developing and maintaining profitable and diverse books of casualty business," said Saunders. "That wealth of casualty market knowledge and insight will prove invaluable not only in helping us deliver more for our clients, but also responding more quickly to changing market demands and reacting faster to new business opportunities.”
